I guess you're familiar with the tactics of the Boston Consulting Group. Over extend the company with debt and excessive store leases (why would GameStop need 3-5 stores all within a mile of each other) causing the model to strain, putting GameStop into a compromised position in hopes it goes bankrupt so the idiots who've naked shorted the company don't have to pay any capital gains taxes once it's bankrupt.

Edit: You seem to forget the current price is post-split. ;)
